| Reverse description | Three finely detailed date palm trees, bearing clusters of fruit, are depicted growing from irrigated agricultural terraces divided by water channels, evoking the Mesopotamian landscape. The central palm is the tallest, flanked symmetrically by two shorter palms, all rendered with careful attention to frond and trunk detail. To the left of the design, the Gregorian year is inscribed in Arabic-Indic numerals, while the corresponding Hijri year appears to the right, both set within the open field. A beaded border runs along the full octagonal edge of the reverse. |

| Additional information |
The 1980–1990 date range encompasses the entirety of the Iran-Iraq War, a conflict that placed extraordinary strain on Iraqi state finances and industrial capacity. That the Baghdad mint continued producing these coins through nearly a decade of war speaks to the regime's insistence on maintaining the appearance of economic normalcy. Sanctions, wartime metal allocation, and mint disruptions mean that individual years within this range vary considerably in surviving quantities — the later dates in particular tend to be genuinely scarce in any condition.
